Step 3
Add the sugar and salt, mix thoroughly, and heat until the butter melts. Then add the baking soda and mix — be careful! When you add the baking soda, a very abundant, fluffy foam forms! Turn off the heat.

Step 4
Add one third of the wheat flour and knead into a sticky dough. This is done so that when you add the eggs, they do not curdle in the hot mixture.

Then crack the chicken eggs into the bowl one at a time and mix the dough thoroughly. After that, add more wheat flour, reserving a little for rolling out the dough.

Knead a firm honey dough and place it in a bag. Chill in the refrigerator for half an hour — it will become nicer and more cohesive, and easier to roll out.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each out on parchment paper into round sheets. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 5–7 minutes until golden brown, then remove and let cool. Trim the finished layers using a plate; do not remove the trimmings.
